Planning permission for the redevelopment of stable blocks at Maylands Golf Club has been refused by Havering Council. The proposal included demolition of existing stables and construction of new ones, alongside additional containers, an outdoor exercise area for horses, and parking spaces. The council cited significant harms to the rural character and visual amenities of the area, potential noise disturbances for nearby residents, and risks to bats' habitat as key reasons for rejection. The application was submitted by landowner Miss E Frasle, highlighting environmental and local community implications in their decision.
The plans were deemed to pose significant harm to the rural character of the area, adversely impacting the visual amenities that the green belt provides.
Havering Council justified the refusal by expressing concerns over noise disturbances from vehicle access, which could detrimentally affect nearby residents' quality of life.
The application was also rejected due to potential risks to local wildlife, specifically noting the presence of roosting bats in the existing stable blocks.
Miss E Frasle submitted the application for redevelopment, which aimed to modernize the stable blocks, but was met with substantial local and environmental concerns.
